Wow! Andrew, I have looked through all your pics to see your passionflowers. I absolutely love them. Used to have a few myself, but not any more. Funnily enough I saw an article in 'Gardens Illustrated' this month, about a new group of hardy passionflowers and I was really tempted! Yours are truly wonderful though! How big is your tropical room? Even outside your garden has a tropical feel to it....lovely. I can't believe you're on the North Norfolk coast....don't you get quite nasty winters there? Thanks for sharing though, I've loved seeing them!

Thank you. My tropical room is about twenty feet by ten feet. Keep it as humid as possible.

The north wind is the worst thing in the winter but luckily its a dry wind. The important thing with the plants outside is making sure they don't get waterlogged. That's why I've put them in gravel, to help with drainage.

Last winter it was below freezing for 64 consecutive days! Everything survived, although almost all of the plants are two months behind still !!

Thank you for your kind comments.
